Brits have been issued a warning to keep all their belongings safely with them while holidaying in Spain after a young mum feared she could be left stranded when her passport was stolen. The woman’s bank cards were also taken from her bag leading her to share her distressing experience on social media platform TikTok. In a video Jess, who is known online as @je55x, explained how she was sat in a McDonald’s restaurant in Salou, a resort town south of Barcelona, when she realised she had been targeted by thieves.
The items had been taken from her bag, which was left hanging open from the handles of her child’s pushchair. Jess told her followers: "My passport, my two cards, everything is gone.” Her main concern was being able to get back home.
She said: "How the hell am I going to get home?" Not only this but she also discovered that attempts had been made to use her bank cards at a nearby steakhouse, reports the MEN . Jess said she's since contacted the police, who told her to make her way to the station, which was 1.4 miles away.
When she reached the station, Jess encountered another Brit who had just experienced a similar theft. She said: "I've just been talking to another woman here and she's had the full phone, purse..
. everything gone, and she was only stood nearby." Jess ended her video with advice for fellow travellers.
She warned: "I'm just putting it out there. Just keep your stuff on you and not around you. “Anything can happen anywhere.
You just never know .
